Courtslip in Greenland

Courtship in Greenland is thus de-
scribed by the Manch chester, England.
Courier:
The preacher is invariably resorted
to, both by young men and maidens,
rs the matrimonial agent. a young
man came to the missionary house
and says to him: II want to marry -
:.Whom?,' asks the missionary.
Have you any one in mind?''
Eyes" answers the lover; tsbut
she will not have me. / want you to
speak to her."
Have you not okenfor yourself
Many times, but she always .No.','''
That IS nothing says the pastor;
you know the ways ofmaidens. Does
she like your
"It is difficult to find out. She will
tell you"
The pastor accordingly sends for the
girl, VINO comes willingly enough,
| knowing what the message means.
"Well, my daughter" !" he observes,
"it is time you should think OF mar
riage.''
Il never mean to marry" is the in
variable and conventional. answer.
'.That is a pity says the minister,
'sbecause have good husband for
thee"
.'Who is he?'' she asks.
The missionary then tells her his
name-although she knows it as we'll
as he does-and Launches out into the
lovers praise. He is strong, good
looking. kindly; he caught two fine
whales when his companions took
none, or whatever else can be said to
his repute. After the catalogue of
his merits has been recited, the girl
replies:
''But I think him a good-for.noth-
ing
"Ah, well," says the missionary,
'thou art not wise. There is no lad
eau fling harpoon as he can. shall
soon find him WIFE,"
He then wishes the girl good day,
| affecting to delieve that the interview
is over. But she is sure to linger, and
after a blush and sigh she whispers,
$50 it is particularly your wish, Herr
Pastor? / do not quite like him, with
a deep sigh, s'but if you" At this
point she virtually hands over the
business to the minister, who has to
tell her that she knows she loves the
lad; that she would not have come if
she had not thought Of accepting him,
and that nothing IS wanting butto ask
the blessing Of God upon their union.
The marriage, curious]y enough,
usually takes place upon the very
day on which the bride has emphat-
ically protested that she will never
have the bridegroom.

Story of a Circus Woman.

The circus woman who rushes into
the ring, bows, catches a strap with
her teeth and is, hauled to the top of
the tent, wher9 she finds rest on a
single swinging trapeze bar, has no
sinecure. A New York Mail and Ex-
press reporter interviewed one of
these queens OF the air She said:
'"The art of balancing on a swing
trapeze is more difficult than active
gymnastics. Ibegan to accustom my
self to the circus ling at years Of
age. At Z could turn handsprings.
My mother was a slack wire walker,
and her ambition was to have me fol-
low in her footsteps, SO to speak.
Somehow l had an antipathy to the
slack-wire, but gradually was
brought-to the balance on it.. At the
age of 10 could do a little walking on
the wire, but always kept the wire
swinging to and fro. In few years
more / could do anything on theslack
wire, and grew ambitious to perform

and 18 years old when I first as

network was spread under to catch
me if I fell. The more Hooked below
the more certain l anne that I
could never get used to the high
trapeze. My instructor shouted up
to me not to look down at all, bat to
keep my eyes fastened upon the ropes
that supported the trapeze bar. I
should have known that before be-
cause in balancing on the slack-wire /
always kept my eyes on a level in
front OF me. I obeyed orders, and be-
gan to try what is known as the simple
balance position. I slipped and
wheeled through the air to the netting
below. I wanted to give it up then.
All my ambition seemed to ooze out
of me. Butt was made to go right up
again aud try it over. That angered
me and became reckless. l succeed

go up and work four or five hours
steadily. Did ever fall? Yes, once;
but, fortunately, ] had the network to
catch me. How did fall? / was en-
